The ones we have are. Been using one of them for years now with no problems.

They are not defect. They are used so they are cheaper than brand new set. Thanks

Sorry Terry, I've used them for some time, definately NOT the same. FYI, Amazon has probably the best quantity pricing on #13's AND you can usually get free freight. Good Luck!Jim

Yep, I got 4 of them a few months ago and they are doing great. I would recommend getting the unpainted ones though.

I have had mine for quite a while, and they are OK. Don't know if there is a "best.......date"

I believe you should be able to detect new from used. Scrutinize the item carefully and trust your gut feeling. I don't believe they will pass off used as new. Reputation matters and I doubt if they will risk that.

Yes, the ones I just bought are good through 2015. They do not list the sell or use by date on the Amazon page. That might be helpful.

You can get them for as low as $415 brand new if you look around. Great deal!!

Yes! I don't know their longevity? If it comes time to replace one , I'm sure you will see "tell-tale " signs that it's appearance has changed enough to warrant replacement. I don't use them on a daily basis, just 2-3 times a week. I personally feel they are excellent. Compare them to others, watch " U-Tube", you will get the idea quickly.

Mine have been fine. I did get one that was broken/defective, but other wise ok.

Check with HP they are real good. Else if expired talk to the seller. Most Amazon sellers are quite reliable.

I haven't used them a great amount but I haven't had any problems with them. Cheers

Mostly likely they are real. I watched reviews on YouTube and the packaging was the same thing. But I don't know if the seller is secretly selling used ones and listing them as new.

It depends on when it was manufactured. Buy it new and you'll be fine. Buy it used and you'll have to check. Typically they're good for 3-5 years from purchase.

I have some that are well-over a year old; I just checked them and they're just fine!!
